Kevin, I wish I could but don't have the funds for that right now. But what I am trying to get done by Brothers is to convert it to 5 lug and get some new wheels.

Went to the Pomona Swapmeet today and picked up a 6 lug to 5 lug rear conversion kit and some modular drop spindles from CPP. Now I'm too excited to wait to get it all installed and put some different wheels on.

Take a look at what the upholstery shop finished for me. I had them take the arm rests off and cut the back of frame down about an inch and a half so its will have a more even look with the front seats. They also custom made the seat covers from scratch. It looks awesome in person. Should get it installed this next week. The only thing I need if anybody has one is a picture of how the seat belts are installed to the backside of the seat. Got to put some in so I can cruise with the kids in the back. Oh... Don't mind the look of the old milky seat belts. The webbing on them is getting replaced and they will look brand new when I put the seat in.

Who did the upholstery work? I am having a local guy do mine, and should be getting them back this week.

Never mind...I looked at the previous page and see it was done by a shop in Montclair. I am also having custom blk/wht houndstooth seatcovers made for my buddy buckets, but with Parchment vinyl instead of black, and all new foam.

romarti0825 · 05-14-2011, 06:28 PM

Medas upholstery in Montclair. Run by two brothers who own the shop. They do great work and at a reasonable price. Besides my Blazer, they also did a CST seat for me for my 72 Cheyenne.

Cool, those look really great! I am having mine done at Ramirez Upholstery in downtown Rialto. I have seen some of there work, and it is very nice. They also have reasonable prices in my opinion.

romarti0825 · 05-14-2011, 06:55 PM

Are you gonna yours in for the get together next week?

I am hoping Jesse will be done with them in time. I also have to make sure my wife does not have plans for me next Sunday, I would really like to come and try a Legends burger out!

romarti0825 · 05-14-2011, 07:40 PM

I'm trying to hit a show in La Habra with John Oro that morning then hit Legends on the way back.
